The only control on RINs is to stop the reuse of abandoned RINs, from deletions or merges. The control for that is in Options / Data Defaults item 4.4.
Otherwise, I don’t think that there is a way to lock a record from being updated, merged or deleted. You could put an Event flag on them to warn you when comparing in the Merge process. I would also never run an automatic merge, I would use the Find Duplicates option with the settings set to try and minimise the number of duplicates. But with a lot of people with the same name you will always have problems.

Is there a way to flag or lock specific Rin numbers so they do not allow deletions from merges or deletions. The reason is that there are 300 Angus Macaulays, Two of them published by Rin number, I don't want to accidentally merge those specific Angus's and inadvertently change their Rins Ian -- ICMac Sales: Hobby consultant (1986r.)
